Spring 2010

With the unusually warm and wet weather this spring, most plants are flowering early. This includes the bulbs, trees and shrubs and Poa annua grass. Growth regulators are applied to the grass (see May 9, 2009 blog entry for details) to inhibit flowering and this year the grass plants are 1-2 weeks ahead of their normal flowering time. Pictured is Deputy Groundsman, Tim Burns, applying the growth regulators and a little nitrogen.
